The University of Texas Health Science Center is developing a Specialized Community Cancer Center involving investigators throughout the institution and practicing physicians in the community. The Cancer Center is organized into eight Program Areas: Community Programs, Carcinogenesis, Brain Tumors, Cell Regulation, Lymphoma-Leukemia and Selected Solid Tumors, Hormonal Cellular Control, Rehabilitation Services, and Cancer and Radiation. Core facilities will be estabished and community resources strenghthened so that together the University of Texas Health Science Center and community physicians can more effectively carry out research activity resulting in better care for the patient with cancer.
